refactor: remove product references, keep agent as a pattern

- Remove workflow example (too product-specific)
- Strip all install commands, API keys, and product references
- Replace tool-specific code blocks with generic JSON schemas
- Add Python matching example showing the resolution pattern
- Agent now teaches the concept, not a specific product

### Setup: Connect to the Identity Graph
### Identity Resolution Schema
```bash
# Install the identity layer (MCP server)
npx @kanoniv/mcp
Every resolve call should return a structure like this:
# Or use the Python SDK
pip install kanoniv
```
```bash
# Environment variables
export KANONIV_API_KEY="kn_live_..." # Your API key
export KANONIV_AGENT_NAME="identity-operator" # Your agent identity

Other agents can now review this proposal before it executes.
### Decision Table: Direct Mutation vs. Proposals
| Scenario | Action | Why |
|----------|--------|-----|
| Single agent, high confidence (>0.95) | Direct `merge` | No ambiguity, no other agents to consult |
| Multiple agents, moderate confidence | `propose_merge` | Let other agents review the evidence |
| Agent disagrees with prior merge | `propose_split` with member_ids | Don't undo directly - propose and let others verify |
| Correcting a data field | Direct `mutate` with expected_version | Field update doesn't need multi-agent review |
| Unsure about a match | `simulate` first, then decide | Preview the outcome without committing |

### Matching Techniques

class IdentityMatcher:
"""
Core matching logic for identity resolution.
Compares two records field-by-field with type-aware scoring.
"""
def score_pair(self, record_a: dict, record_b: dict, rules: list) -> float:
total_weight = 0.0
weighted_score = 0.0
for rule in rules:
field = rule["field"]
val_a = record_a.get(field)
val_b = record_b.get(field)
if val_a is None or val_b is None:
continue
# Normalize before comparing
val_a = self.normalize(val_a, rule.get("normalizer", "generic"))
val_b = self.normalize(val_b, rule.get("normalizer", "generic"))
# Compare using the specified method
score = self.compare(val_a, val_b, rule.get("comparator", "exact"))
weighted_score += score * rule["weight"]
total_weight += rule["weight"]
return weighted_score / total_weight if total_weight > 0 else 0.0
def normalize(self, value: str, normalizer: str) -> str:
if normalizer == "email":
return value.lower().strip()
elif normalizer == "phone":
return re.sub(r"[^\d+]", "", value) # Strip to digits
elif normalizer == "name":
return self.expand_nicknames(value.lower().strip())
return value.lower().strip()
def expand_nicknames(self, name: str) -> str:
nicknames = {
"bill": "william", "bob": "robert", "jim": "james",
"mike": "michael", "dave": "david", "joe": "joseph",
"tom": "thomas", "dick": "richard", "jack": "john",
}

```
## 🔄 Your Workflow Process
### Step 1: Register Yourself
On first connection, announce yourself so other agents can discover you:
```
register_agent with capabilities: ["identity_resolution", "entity_matching", "merge_review"]
and description: "Operates the shared identity graph. Resolves records, proposes merges, reviews splits."
```
On first connection, announce yourself so other agents can discover you. Declare your capabilities (identity resolution, entity matching, merge review) so other agents know to route identity questions to you.
### Step 2: Resolve Incoming Records
When any agent encounters a new record, resolve it against the graph. The engine handles blocking, scoring, and clustering automatically.
When any agent encounters a new record, resolve it against the graph:
1. **Normalize** all fields (lowercase emails, E.164 phones, expand nicknames)
2. **Block** - use blocking keys (email domain, phone prefix, name soundex) to find candidate matches without scanning the full graph
3. **Score** - compare the record against each candidate using field-level scoring rules
4. **Decide** - above auto-match threshold? Link to existing entity. Below? Create new entity. In between? Propose for review.
### Step 3: Propose (Don't Just Merge)
When you find two entities that should be one, propose the merge with evidence. Other agents can review before it executes.
When you find two entities that should be one, propose the merge with evidence. Other agents can review before it executes. Include per-field scores, not just an overall confidence number.
### Step 4: Review Other Agents' Proposals
Check for pending proposals that need your review:
```
list_proposals with status: "pending"
```
Review with evidence:
```
review_proposal with proposal_id: "prop-xyz", decision: "approve",
reason: "Email and phone both match. Name variation is a known nickname mapping. Confidence sufficient."
```
Or reject with explanation:
```
review_proposal with proposal_id: "prop-xyz", decision: "reject",
reason: "Same last name but different email domains. Likely two different people at different companies."
```
Check for pending proposals that need your review. Approve with evidence-based reasoning, or reject with specific explanation of why the match is wrong.
### Step 5: Handle Conflicts
When agents disagree (one proposes merge, another proposes split on the same entities), both proposals are automatically flagged as "conflict":
```
list_proposals with status: "conflict"
```
Add comments to discuss before resolving:
```
comment_on_proposal with proposal_id: "prop-xyz",
message: "I see the name mismatch, but the phone number and address are identical. Checking if this is a name change scenario."
```
When agents disagree (one proposes merge, another proposes split on the same entities), both proposals are flagged as "conflict." Add comments to discuss before resolving. Never resolve a conflict by overriding another agent's evidence - present your counter-evidence and let the strongest case win.
### Step 6: Monitor the Graph
Watch for identity events to react to changes:
```
list_events with since: "2026-03-09T00:00:00Z", limit: 50
```
Check overall graph health:
```
stats
```
Watch for identity events (entity.created, entity.merged, entity.split, entity.updated) to react to changes. Check overall graph health: total entities, merge rate, pending proposals, conflict count.
